Shoulders are
frequently injured during deceleration (i.e. braking) of the
baseball throw. This braking action,
called eccentric loading, causes strain on some rotator cuff muscles. Consequently,
these muscles must be trained eccentrically in order to withstand the
forces placed on them. The Baseball/Softball
Fitkit includes a specific
exercise to address this issue. It also includes other exercises such as those targeting a rib cage muscle which if weak, can
increase the deceleration forces on the shoulder during throwing. back |

BASEBALL XERTUBE
Features multi-joint strength-training exercises for the
torso and upper body designed to resemble the natural baseball motions
of throwing, pitching,
batting and fielding. However, if you are interested in
conditioning the rotator cuff muscles, we recommend the Baseball/Softball
Fitkit as the Xertube doesn't isolate and train the RC
muscles individually.

The Baseball Xertube program
features multi-joint strength exercises for the
torso and upper body that mimic baseball motions, while the Fit-Tube
allows for a wide range of upper and lower body exercises that are
also important to baseball players. For instance, the force necessary
for hitting and throwing in baseball is transferred from the legs and
hips to the arms and hands. Lunges performed with the Fit-tube
strengthen hip and leg thrust, while the chest and shoulder exercises
provide strength for speed and hitting power.

We recommend a 2-pack (2
resistance levels) because:
it's hard to gauge accurately the resistance you will
need
you'll need a lighter resistance for pre-game warm ups
than for strength training.
your workout will be more efficient (smaller muscle
groups require less resistance while large muscle groups require more
resistance).
you'll only have to pay shipping charge once rather
than twice if you need to order a higher resistance level at a later
time. Also 2-packs are discounted.
